On the morning of Mother’s Day, May 14, 2017, 57-year-old Patrick Olarerin, originally from Lagos, Nigeria, was found in his North Brunswick, New Jersey, apartment with a fatal gunshot wound. Emergency responders arrived about 5:15 a.m.; he was taken to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital and died shortly afterward. His death was ruled a homicide and investigated by the North Brunswick Police Department and the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office.

Investigators focused on 40-year-old Jerome Davis of Piscataway. Prosecutors say Davis had been stalking and harassing Olarerin because Olarerin was involved with Davis’s ex-girlfriend. On the day of the killing Davis allegedly entered Olarerin’s home and shot him. Davis was arrested the same day and charged with murder and burglary on May 19, 2017. After a trial that began April 9, 2019, a jury convicted Davis of first-degree murder, unlawful possession of a weapon, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, and burglary; he was sentenced on June 27, 2019.

Did anyone in North Brunswick at that time have information about tensions between Olarerin and Davis or about repeated harassment leading up to May 14, 2017?
